about

Figure It Out was the first track I recorded for the project so therefore it’s quite apt that it is track 1 on the EP. It marks a slight change in approach for me lyrically compared to previous avenues in that I suddenly felt more comfortable putting down more personal experiences, feelings and thoughts rather than inventing a metaphorical dreamland or character. It was written in March 2020 in a moment of anger and confusion about the chaos and blatant mismanagement of the pandemic by those in power and about how epidemically narcissistic our society has become, probably around the time toilet-roll-gate was going on. Musically it happened very organically, I wrote the general progression on my acoustic one morning and finished the full demo in time for dinner. One of those nice times where a song almost falls out of the sky and into your lap.

lyrics

Some rise and bloom
Some let us down
You took your time
To figure it out

Stand in the shadows and blame
Every time every day
It comes undone
You know you’re wrong

Hey you’re kind of freaking me out
Hey you’re kind of freaking me out
Hey you’ve got to figure it out

No trace or truth
No signs are found
This time you’re through
We’ll turn it around
